The Effect of Image Color Saturation and Framing on Prosocial Behavior
Low saturation signals deprivation and weakness, whereas high saturation signals rigor and power. Accordingly, we find that when prosocial messages are hope-framed, higher image color saturation elicits greater intentions for prosocial behavior. However, prosocial messages framed as need elicit higher prosocial behavior intentions when they use low color saturation.
